3.9 Blower Kit
The Elegance 42 blower kit comes with two high performance 130 CFM blowers, which have an electrical
rating of 115 V, 60 Hz, and 56 W. A variable speed control (rheostat) and a heat sensor (therm-o-disc) are
included with the kit.
WARNING: Only a blower provided by SUPREME FIREPLACES INC. can be
installed into the fireplace. Substituting the blower kit may result in overheating, will void the warranty
and can be hazardous.
The electrical connection of the blowers is to be performed by a certified electrician. Note that it is
recommended that the wiring of the blowers be done before the installation of the surround kit. The blowers
and the electric box are located respectively at the back/bottom and at the front/bottom of the unit (Figure 3-
43).
WARNING: Make certain that the fireplace in not in operation and the blowers are unplugged (breaker
off) before accessing the electrical wiring of the blower kit.
For maintenance or replacement purposes, the blowers and the electrical box are accessible from within the
bottom of the firebox (Figure 3-44). 1) Remove the floor plate. 2) Disassemble and remove the stainless steel
cover on the bottom of the firebox by unscrewing it. Take caution to the therm-o-disc and wiring assembled
onto the stainless steel bracket.
The following are instructions on installing the blower kit into the Elegance 42 (refer to Figure 3-45 for the
electrical diagram):
1. Using two screws, install the therm-o-disc onto the L bracket located under the firebox.
2. Connect the black wire of the power supply to the therm-o-disc.
3. Connect the therm-o-disc to the black wire of the rheostat (install/mount the rheostat at a convenient
location).
4. Connect the white wire of the rheostat to the blowers.
5. Connect the blowers to the white wire (neutral) of the power supply.
6. Ground the connection with the green wire in the electric box.
Once the electrical connections are completed, the blowers will turn on and turn off automatically during the
operation of the unit. As the temperature of the fireplace increases and the therm-o-disc reaches 95°F, the
blowers will turn on. Note that the average time it takes for the blowers to activate is between 30 to 45 minutes
after starting a fire. The blowers will turn off once the fireplace has cooled down and the therm-o-disc is 85°F.
The speed of the blowers can be adjusted with the variable speed control (rheostat) mounted on the wall. It is
safe to operate the Elegance 42 in the event of a power failure (blowers not powered).
Note: The blowers sit on a fixture. If a blower
needs to be removed for maintenance, the
fixture’s pin needs to be unbent and the
blower can then be removed by lifting it
upwards, out of the fixture. See Figure 3-47.
